For Uncompressed Production, Postproduction & Archival
If you're currently using uncompressed digitized film and video formats,
SheerVideo will both speed up and lighten up your work with matching real-time lossless video encoders and decoders,
while maintaining the perfect uncompressed quality you demand —
a win + win + win combination of speed + power + quality.
With SheerVideo, you can capture and play back uncompressed-quality standard-definition RGB component video
on your laptop's slow internal disk drive,
or capture and play back perfect-quality high-definition video on a cheap two-disk SATA RAID 0,
while encoding or decoding on the fly in real time.
As a digital intermediate, SheerVideo cuts in half your network delays and storage loads while ensuring perfect fidelity.

For Broadcast Production
If you're working with destructive broadcast-quality formats such as ProRes, HDCamSR, DigiBeta, Photo JPEG, and Motion JPEG,
upgrading your workflow to perfect-quality SheerVideo format at a comparable data rate
will speed up your work with a reduced processor load
and eliminate image degradation.

For Prosumers
For prosumer-quality source formats such as DVCPro HD, DV-25, MPEG, H.264, AVC, and HDV,
upgrading to nondestructive SheerVideo takes more space,
but quickens your work with a far lighter processor load,
and eliminates image degradation.

Includes Synchromy™
SheerVideo incorporates Synchromy nondestructive color-conversion technology
—the most accurate color-space converter in the world—
to convert between RGB (film and computer-generated imagery) and Y'CbCr (video) color spaces.
This means you can edit video footage in applications designed for film and CGI,
and edit film & CGI footage in video applications,
with zero loss of image information —
a feat previously considered impossible.

Omniformat
With its direct lossless support for all professional pixel formats
for digitized film & synthetic imagery (RGB[A]) and video (Y'CbCr[A]),
both with and without alpha,
in high (10-bit) and standard (8-bit) precision,
full-range and video-range,
uniformly sampled (4:4:4[:4]) and 1:2 chroma-subsampled (4:2:2[:4]);
at any resolution, including HD (high definition) and SD (standard definition), NTSC, PAL, & SECAM;
4:3 & 16:9,
progressive and interlaced,
